Little Big Town takes on new musical landscape with ‘It’s A Dying Art’

In the digital age, Little Big Town is old-fashioned. And the Grammy-winning quartet wears it like a badge of honor.

In fact, the "Boondocks" band members, who have been together for more than 25 years, believe many of the values that have defined their career are becoming a "Dying Art."

Throughout the decades, the country music vocal group has watched social media increasingly replace human connection. They've observed the music-making process become more digitized. Now, they're even witnessing AI songs climb the charts.

It's a far different musical landscape than the one they entered in 1998 when they first formed their band.

"I have yet to hear an AI vocal that has real soul in it," Karen Fairchild told The Tennessean during an interview at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

"We're human beings. We want to make human music," Phillip Sweet added. "We don't want to be all digitized. We're analog … with all of its flaws and everything."

On their new album "It's A Dying Art," out now on MCA, the group embraces the idea that real art is shaped by human imperfection, grit and lived experience.

They wouldn't have it any other way.

"Dying Art"…
